Video+Editing+and+Sharing

Videos Online

**YouTube - I adore youtube! I have used it for many DIY projects at home, from tile laying to crocheting. Unfortunately, it is blocked at school. I know that you can request it to be unblocked for a certain video. However, that takes time and one of the cool things about youtube is that you can use it on the fly. Also, students have created their own youtubes and love to share them with you. My android phone has a youtube app that I have used in the past to watch a student created youtube.**


 * TeacherTube - I like teachertube because of its relevance and the fact that it is not blocked at school. There are some really cute videos (check out the scientific method rap!), but their are also some very boring videos. It pays to prewatch! I have used this in class when students were completing a webquest for our Properites of Matter unit. **

Animoto - This sounds fun! I think the students would really get into the creative side of this product. I did a project using PowerPoint and they enjoyed inserting animations, music and hyperlinks, so I think they are definitely technologically ready for this! I would like to use this soon, maybe during our one of our units on Weather, Weathering, or Resources. After making my animoto video, I definitely think this would be a cute product for a brochure type project (maybe biomes or adaptations). You could give each group a different topic to research and share. media type="custom" key="7223037"
